Hi Im new to all this,tryng to plan a last minute trip,never beenhave 2 kids 7& 11,we were thinking of 2 day at the parks & 1 day at seaworld,staying at gaylord palms for a homeschool conference but need room while at disney..how do you decide which parks someone said epcott was not that great??

anyway I found a book online you can order for 39.99 its an online book with apparently codes for unknown deals?? is this legitimite?


not surewe can afford a hopper pass and want to do a beach & a pool for our 5 days


so should I get a disney club & entertainment book,I was told by disney club you dont need both but with the entertainment boook I get coupns for here at home too??


also trying to find a nice hotel with a fun slide for the kids and free breakfasts,family suites at 119 mousesaver raTE IS GOOD BUT THEN I READ ABOUT SOME OTHER DISCOUNT HOTLES AT LIKE 40? BUT NOT SURE YOU GET THE FUN POOL?

I wouldn't waste the money on the book.. that is just my opinion though.

Between this board, www.mousesavers.com and other sites (that I am not sure if I can mention) you will do just fine with discounts. AAA, DC & Entertainment discounts are available and can be a plus.. but I do not have any of them and have done fine without them.

Good luck, welcome to the boards!

If you keep reading these boards and mousesavers.com you will have all the information you need about WDW discounts! Ourlaughingplace.com has great pictures to check out all the resorts for you to decide on which ones to stay in.

Happy planning!

I bought the online book before I discovered these boards and it is a total waste of money. You can learn much more for free on this and other bulletin boards. The codes the book lists are the same codes everyone else knows about - they don't have any secret information.

Yes, I agree don't buy the book...use mousesavers. If you don't care if you staying inside the park, you could probably get a better rate.

As for EPCOT.......We LOVE it. My husband and daughter especially like it. I prefer the World showcase best. But overall, I think Epcot is a great choice. We don't think we will do Animal Kingdom this year though, not too impressed. Except maybe to see the new parade.

Don't bother spending money on how to save in Disney. These boards have all the info you'll ever need, and links to more. I would not be surprised if those authors often sign on to these and other Disney savings boards!

Don't waste your money.
